Meat Loaf greatest hits - you pick the songs

wenners · 22 Aug 2006, 18:12

I don’t know if you are like me over the years and have copied various versions of songs to make that ultimate album. How many times have you listened to a greatest hits or a collection of someone’s work and gone I like this album, BUT I wish this or that song was on it.
It is inevitable that at some point after bat 3 is released some record company will release an album of a collection of Meats songs.

I say we all put down our choice of 14 songs (has to be a double album) of the songs we would like to hear on a compilation or greatest hits album.
Don’t just choose a song, choose a particular version for example if you want Bat out of Hell would you like the original or a live version if so from where and when. My personal favourite is a from a live 12 inch single released around the early eighties. Or my favourite version of You Took the Word is from the live at Wembley CD with the great adlibs on the end.

Then after a given time there must be someone here who knows some one at either Meats staff or record company who can say if you’re going to do a compilation/greatest hits album this is what the fans want to hear.

Oh one catch though 3 of the songs must be from the upcoming album.

I must go now and pick my songs.
